Electrifying! Wacker Neuson and Kramer at Bauma 2019

At Bauma 2019, international construction equipment manufacturer Wacker Neuson Group will be taking visitors on an electrifying tour of its vast product portfolio. The zero emission range will be one of the main attractions at the Wacker Neuson and Kramer stand.

“Bauma is and always has been the most important platform for us to engage in depth with current and prospective customers in a professional setting, inspire them with our products and showcase our impressive machines in action,” explains Martin Lehner, CEO of the Wacker Neuson Group.

New, larger site

This year, the Wacker Neuson Group will be located at a new stand – FN.915 – with an impressive 6,000 square meters or so of space. This means that the Group will have the largest stand for construction equipment in the northern open-air area of the site. The stand is designed as an electrifying world of discovery and is already expected to be a major crowd-puller. Visitors will be able to see new machines on display and also experience equipment live in action on a large demo area. With passion and skill, demo drivers will be demonstrating their enthusiasm for everyday construction site challenges. And if that’s not enough, viewers will also have a chance to test their own skills at the interactive, action-packed test zones. Complementing these hands-on discovery zones, numerous digital stations will be offering engaging virtual experiences.

The growing zero emission product family

The entire zero emission portfolio, including the latest additions to the family, will be taking center stage at Wacker Neuson and Kramer’s electrifying stand. A “zero emission boulevard” runs through the entire stand and features a host of different interactive stations. Visitors will be able to experience the broad portfolio of battery-powered rammers and vibratory plates as well as electric wheel loaders, electric dumpers and electric mini excavators. The AS60e battery-powered rammer and the AP2560e battery-powered vibratory plate are the latest additions to the range. Both machines are equipped with Wacker Neuson’s proven battery. A total of six products can now be powered by this interchangeable battery, making the equipment even more cost-effective for customers. Other new products in the zero emission portfolio include the fully electric EZ17e zero tail mini excavator and the DW15e electric wheel dumper.

Innovations

The Wacker Neuson Group has developed numerous promising digitalization solutions and will be unveiling these at Bauma. These include a realistic driving simulator that will allow visitors to experience and test products before the initial prototypes have even been built. Virtual reality applications will be used for training purposes and configuring complex machines, while a 3D printer will provide impressive demonstrations of how spare parts can be quickly manufactured. “We also place our customers and their needs at the heart of our digitalization development work. We are not using digital technology to look modern. We want to deliver real benefits to our customers and make their day-to-day working lives easier,” adds Martin Lehner.

Another innovation on show at Bauma revolves – quite literally – around operator and construction site safety. The dual view concept for wheel dumpers with payloads of between 6 and 10 tons enables operators to quickly and easily change their seating position by turning the entire operating and seat console by 180 degrees. This ensures that drivers always have a clear view in the direction of travel when transporting, loading and unloading material. Wacker Neuson will be launching the concept in all European markets at Bauma.

“We have other highlights lined up for visitors to our stand, but we don’t want to give away too much at this early stage. However, I can say that we’ll be reaching for new heights – in every sense of the word. Visit us at Bauma and let us surprise you,” concludes Alexander Greschner, CSO of the Wacker Neuson Group.

Flying high – Take a ride in the ferris wheel

At our Bauma stand, a special highlight is waiting for our visitors this year: We will take you high up in the sky during a ferris wheel ride. Enjoy the view over the Bauma show grounds and watch our demo show from over 35 meters. Be electrified by the Wacker Neuson Bauma experience, we are looking forward to your visit!

Bauma Innovation Award 2019

The zero emission product line from Wacker Neuson was nominated for the Bauma Innovation Award 2019 in the category "Machine". The winners will be announced in April as part of the Bauma opening in Munich.

Wacker Neuson is the first manufacturer to offer a full line of electric construction equipment in series. This includes rammers, plates, wheel loaders, dumpers and mini excavators. The zero emission product line enables emission-free and extremely low-noise operation on the typical inner-city construction site as they can be found all over in European cities maintainig and building all types of infrastructure. Operator and the environment are better protected; the reduction of air pollution and noise in cities is taken care of; and electric machines are virtually maintenance free, economical and do require much lower operating expenses.

Wacker Neuson is one of the lucky finalists of the Bauma Innovation Award in 2019 in the category "machine ". Every three years, research and development teams are being honored for bringing practicable, state-of-the-art technology for the construction industry to market maturity while also taking the environment, people and resources in consideration.
